Private Picnic Party Suddenly Inter- rupted at Its Supper by the Ap- pearance of the Brute From Behind a Hedge. Little Willie Salzman will not know until he is older what a narrow escape he had from being bitten by a mad dog Thursday afternoon. Willie is 18 months old, and lives on Car- rie avenue, near Broadway. There was a private plenic in O'Fallon Park Thursday afternoon. A jolly party of women and children enjoyed themselves under the big trees) The women exchanged Zossip while the children romped on the @rass, and nobody thought of danger. Willie Salzman lay in his baby buggy and looked at the big blue sky. The picnic ground !s on a hillside and is Surrounded by a thick undergrowth of brush which forms a sort of natural hedge. The picnic party had spread table cloths on the grass and was just preparing to par- take of an open air tea when a rustling .6ound was heard behind the bushes, In another instant the underbrush pafted and a brindle bull-dog rushed toward the women and children. He was frothing at the mouth and snapped to the right and left as he ran. The party ecattered, but Mrs. Salzman re- mained to rescue her baby. The dog leaped in the air and landed in the buggy on top of little Willie. It snapped at the baby’s face, and would have sunk its teeth into the Httle fellow’s face had not the desperately courageous mother hit it with her umbrella. The blow knocked the maddened an!mal from the buggy. Half stumned it writhed on the grass until Patrolman Pat Borden arrived. He had been attracted by the ecreams of the women and children. Ae the policeman approached the dog juniped to its feet and ran. Then followed a wild chase. The policeman followed the dog over hilis and through the woods until the animal took refuge in a ravine a quar- ter of a mile from the ptcnic grounds. Driven to bay the animal turned on Bor- den, who pulled his revolver and put two bullets in him. The second hit the dog in the head, killing nim instantly. The pien'e party broke up. When Mrs. Salzman rs So her baby in her arms after her fright was over she found a fleck of foam on the child’s cheek. it told how narrow the escape had been. Patrolman Borden says the dog showed all the symptoms of rabies, IN THE NICK OF TIME. Manager Stone Saves the Lives of His pwning Daughters.

Tubbs: With them came a lit- tle girl, daughter of one of their English neighbors, named Hmma Davis. The Tubbs purchased one of the finest vineyards in the county. Since the Tubbs took possession of this property little Emma Davis has, it is charged, been practically enslaved. She has scarcely been allowed to go off the premises, and has been compelled to work in the vineyard by the side of men hired off the public highways and has received no education. The British Consul | self in the matter at the request of the 'Marquis of Salisbury, and the Sheriff of the county being appealed to, went to the Tubbs’ place for the girl, but found she had been spirited away. She is supposed to be in Fresno and the Sheriff wil! try to find her to-day and send her back to England. RATS GNAWED PETER BOHAN has interested him- He Indiscreetly Went to Sleep in an | Alley.

He Says “You See I’m Back; That's All I’ve Got to Say,” but Oth- ers Are Talking More Freely. Two judges with but a single bench — numerous pool-room cases to be heard. This anomaly existed In the Court of Criminal Correction Friday morning. Judge David Murphy, who retired from the bench last Saturday, presumably for thirty days’ vacation, returned Thursday evening from Buffalo, N. Y. Friday morning at 9:45 o'clock he scaled the Four Courts stairway and sought the seclusion of his private office. Provisional Judge Frank Estes walked into the court room not knowing What his term as substitute judge was soon to terml- nate, Judge Estes was appointed by Cireutt Judge Valliant last Monday. His commis- sion does not specffy any length of time, but it was taken as a foregone conclusion that Judge Murphy would be away at least thir- ty days. Judge Estes so believed. There were three loud raps at the door to Judge Murphy's private office Friday morning. “Come in,” said a gruff voice, The ddor opened. “Good morning, Judge Murphy,” said Pro- visional Judge Estes. “How do you do, sir,” responded Judge Murphy. The door closed. The conference lasted twenty minutes, Judge Estes walked out. “There is not much for me to say,” said he to a Post-Dispatch reporter, “Judge Murphy has returned home. I learned the fact after my arrival in the court-room this morning. 1 immediately went to Judge Murphy in his private room and res’ et” That is all there is to It.’ “Were you aware that Judge Murphy was to resume the bench so soon?’ i*No, knew nothing about his return. I was not informed how long he would be absent.” “Is it true that Judge Murphy hastened back in order to hear the pool-room cases?” *“T have no opinion to express on that os ect—don't know anything about the -room cases.’ “~ Post-Dispatch reporter asked Judge Murphy what he dl to say about his un- expected home-comin 2 “You see I'm here,” aie the Judge; “that ll I have to say.”’ Sthen he mounted the bench and the Sher- iff opened court. Meanwhile Judge Estes quietly left the court room. Half a hundred or more pool-room people sm'led for joy, and but for the strict dis- cipline maintained in senge Murphy's court there might have been three cheers and a tiger. he coincidence of Judge Murphy's re- turn to the bench on the day of the pool- room cases created vast comment.

SPRANG OVER A _ PRECIPICE, THE BOY’S FATHER HAD FORBID. DEN HIM TO WED A MIN- ER’S DAUGHTER. SO THEY DIED TOGETHER, The Story Comes From the Mountain Special to the Post-Dispatch. NASHVILLE, Aug. 27.—The Post-Dispatch correspondent is unable to verify the story printed here to-day of the suicide of two lovers at Bon Air, a summer resort in the mountains of East Tennessee. As the story appears in the papers here, about three months ago Car! French, a wealthy young man of Indianapolis, Ind., arrived at Bon Air to spend ae vacation. Soon afterward he met and fell desperately in love with Helen Hunt, a beautiful girl of 18 years, and paid ass'duous court to her, ‘At first she paid but little attention to his pleadings, but before long his love was re- ciprocated and a secret marriage was ar- ranged. Their devotion to each other be- came the talk of the village, and the gos- sips had much to say concerning the hand- geome young Northerner and the pretty flow- er that he had found in the wilds of Ten- messee. Most of them supposed it to be merely a summer flirtation, and believed that they would soon forget all about each other, as soon as the young man returned to his city home. But the young people themselves thought ifferentiy. French was terribly in earnest. o was the girl. The young man’s father heard of his infatuation and rushed to the ecene by the fastest route. He made ar- rangements to take his sun home, with the specification that he might see the girl, but only in his presence. This thought was un- bearable to the hea | lovers. Life without each other, it seemed to them, would be a torture. Separation for a day was bad enough; for all time, impossible and live. or one evening—'it was to be the last—~ they were allowed to be together. It was after dark. They strolled out to Sunset Park, followed closely by the young man's father.

HILL MEN ARE POURING DOWN TOWARD JAMRUD, STRONG- HOLD OF ENGLAND. FAMOUS MOUNTAIN DEFILE. Description of the Dangerous Route Through Khyber Pass and the Almost Inaccessible Coun- try Beyond. LONDON, Aug. 27.—A_ special dispatch from Bombay says: The Mad Mullah of Haddah commanded the Afridis who have just captured the Britieh forts in the Khy- ber Pass which, the dispatch adds, the na- tives will now keep sealed up. The most serious news contained in the dispatches from India is the announcement that the Afridis are pouring down through the Khyber Pass toward Jamrud. The lat ter is a fortified town in Br'tieh territory, directly on the border and a few miles only to the west of Peshawur, the term! s of the Northwestern Railway. The yber Pass is a mountain defile twenty-eight miles in length, running from Jamrud to Dakka. Just beyond Jamrud rise the bare and rocky hilis of the Khyber range. They Are without a tree; there is scarcely a brush, except upon the flat ground, where a few stunted shrubs are to be seen. The entrance to the pass is between two cliffs about 1,200 feet in height, and the road is flanked by cindrous-looking rocks, piled in interminable confusion, without a sign of vegetat.on, brown and forbidding. Eight miles from the eastern entrance to the pass stands the picturesque little fort of Ali Musjid. At this point the defile is only 450 feet wide, and the elevation of the fort is 2.433 feet above the sea level. It stands on 4 conical hill which overhangs the valley, 690 feet above the roadway of the pass, through which runs a small stream. Fora distance of two and one-half miles beyond Ali Musjid the defile retains its difficult character, the width of the gorge varying from 300 to 400 feet and the hills on each side, about 1,500 feet in height, being slaty, bare and to all appearance inaccessible. The bed of the torrent is likely to be filled with @ sudden fall of rain, when the stream that ordinar‘ly creeps through the gravel, some- times disappearing completely, swells to raging violence. Beyond this section comes the Lala Beg Valley, six miles in length and a mile and a half in breadth, and in which there is a a great tope, or artificial mound, on the north of the road. At the western end of the valley the road contracts again till there is scarcely room for two meeting camels to pass. In this section, for a dis- tance of a mile and a half, the traveler passes along a gallery twelve feet wide, with on one hand a towering cliff and on the other a sheer and yawning precipice. The traveler then enters the section known as the Lundi Khana Pass, in which is situated the village of the same name. In the Lundi Khana the greatest height. 3,373. feet above the sea level and a rise of 2,208 feet since leaving Peshawur, is reach- ed. In ascending this pass the invaders en- counter the greatest matural obstacles of the Kyhber. The ascent is over such a narrow, steep and rugged path that guns can be drawn up only by men, Me by them only after the roadway has been care- fully prepared. The descent from the sum- mit, near the village of Lundi Ghana, to the end of the defile at Dakka, nine miles distant, is over a practicable road, and is not difficult, although the descent is sharp, The Kurram Valley, on which another hostile tr.be of hillmen is reported to be descending, lies to the south of the Khyber pass, and ig regarded as the better route of the two between the Punjab and Cabool, both on account of the easiness of the roads and the abundance of water, fuel, grazing and i“ + procurable in it. The inhabi- tants of the valley are all Shiah Moham- medans and are uwseually more friendly to- ward the Anglo-Indians than they are ty the Caboolese, who are Sunni Mohamme.- dans and are regarded by the Kurramese as oppressors, The Kurram Valley, by reason of its location, turns the Khyber pass and stretches almost to Cabool. It commands access t@ the Peiwar and Shutur-Gurdan passes, which bar the way to Caboo! and Ghuznee, in the very center of the Ameer’s territory. WISHED HE WAS PRESIDENT.

The commission, through one of its mem- bers, George C. Hitchcock, has been taking testimony for several weeks from prisoners and ex-prisonefs of the jail and at an execu- tive session of the Board, Thursday even- ing, it was decided that Wagner should be brougnt to trial on these charges,.and also for general incompetency and incapability in office. The commission claims it has evidence to show that the jailor and his guards practice extortion on prisoners in selling them to- bacco, whisky, drugs and other things that their appetites crave, that such articles are delivered to prisoners as they ask and are able to pay for at exorbitant prices. Another charge is that prisoners without money or influence are cruelly treated and made to feel the penalty of their imprison- ment far beyond the hardships anticipated by taw. It is also charged that neither the ja‘ior nor his subordinates are capable of com- ELOPED WITH | ONE-LEGGED MAN, Mrs. Kate Housefeld Came to St. Louis With a Butcher Named Wood.

The runaways were found after a week’s search. Now the man who despoiled the Housefeld home ig locked up at the Sev- enth District Police Station and must an- swer in the Police Court the charge of carrying concealed weapons. Herman Housefeld, his wife, Kate, and their 6-year-old daughter, Clara, lived at 2006 Fifteenth street, Louisville, Ky. A few blocks distant, at 1624 Prentice street, Wil- liam M.

She was picked up in an un- conscious condition and sent home in an ambulance. The woman’s back was severely wrenched, and it was feared the spinal column was fractured. A small bone in her left ankle was broken and a contusion on the head caused blood to flow freely, giving her a ghastly appearance when she was removed to Engine House No. 1, where Dr. Carr ex- amined the injuries. He pronounced them not necessarily fatal, although Mrs. Wil- liams is now lying at her home in a precari- ous condition, Mrs. Williams is 50 years old.

On these charges the Commissioners will try Wagner as soon as the charges can be formulated by Attorney Hitchcock,which will probably be early next week. The trial will be public. Jailer Wagner was invited by the com- missioners to appear before them and de- fend himself, but refused to meet them in secret session. If the Charity Commission removes Wag- ner his successor will have to be named by the Mayor, but until the Mayor does name his successor he holds on to the office. And right here comes the rub in which the powerlessness of the Charity Commis- sion may be shown as it was in the case of Supt. Bristol of the House of Refuge, who was voted out by the commission, but May- or Walbridge held up the naming of Bris- tol’s successor for months, and the com. mission was powerless to enforce its dictum, while Bristol, through the indulgence of the Mayor, lorded it aB usual over the Refuge inmates. So it may be with Wagner, for the Mayor not only disavows any interest in the case, but says he will have nothing whatever to do with it. When a Post-Dispatch reporter asked the Mayor what action he would take in the event the Commissioners dismissed Wag- ner, he said: “I know nothing about the case officially and when I reach that bridge I'll consider how and when I'll cross it.’’ A Pot-Dispatch reporter attempted to interview Jailer Wagner as to the charges made against him by the Charity Comm s- sioners.: ‘‘Butch’ was not in a pleasant frame of mind.

EXPERTS MAKE EXPERIMENTS. ‘the Carcassegs of Guinea Pigs Dis- solved in Solutions of Pot- ash Leave but a Few ' Scraps. * Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Iil., Aug. 27.—The day’s im- portant development in the trial of Luetgert for the murder of his wife is the information that Mrs. Ida Harris when placed upon the stand to testify will swear, shé says, that the friendship and wedding rings found by the police in the vat of the sausagemaker’s factory belonged to Mrs. Luetgert. The women will also tel] of frequent quarrels between Luetgert and his wife. She will testify that she was at one time the close confidant of Mrs. Luetgert, and that the woman alleged to have been murdered told her of her domestic relations with Adolph L. Luetgert. Mrs. Harris has knawn the Luetgert fam- ily for seven years, and was their next door neighbor during five years of that time.. Before her marriage Mrs. Harris was em- ployed as a domestic in the Luetgert house for several months, and witnessed some of the quarrels between the husband and wife. In talking of the case to-day Mrs. Harris said: “Mrs. Lyetgert was always afraid of her husband, and frequently when she saw him coming home would leave the house by the back door. What the nature of the quarre!ls was I cannot say, but Mrs. Luetgert wees come over to my house nearly every night and relate her trofibles to me. She would say that it was impossible for her and Mr. Luetgert- to get along pappily. but she did not want it known that there was any trouble, “Mrs. Luetgert told me that she was afraid to enter the sausage factory because her husband was so abusive. While I was a servant for the Luetgert family Mr. Luet- gert would scold his wife whenever he came into the house. He was usually ugly about money matters, and was always angry be- cause his wife would not give him entire control of the money she possessed. Medical experts, after an experiment made pesterssy declared that a body may be dis ntegrated in a solution of caustic otash, as claimed by the State in the uetgert case. The defense {s said to have declared tnat the solution of caustic potash such as Luetgert ‘s alleged ta have used in Gispoeme of the body of his wife would act d Sorentiy on flesh in different stages of decomposition. This theory, it fe said is to be used against the State when Prof. Walter Haines tells of the result of his ex- periments with a cadaver and the potash. Guinea pigs of the same age, health and weight were used in the experiment yes- terday. One of the guinea pigs had en killed several days ago and was in a par- tial state of decomposition. The-other was killed a minute before it was dropped into the solut'on which contained 12 per cent of caustic potash. The potash used was ex- actly the same as that found in Luetgert’s factory, and the solution was heated to the same degree as that alleged to have been used by him. At 10 o'clock, in ‘he presence of a number of interested physic'ans, the guinea piss were put into two boilers, which contained the solution. The action of the solution was closely watched, the time being noted. In five minutes both bod‘es began to soften Five minutes later the hide came off both and at 10:16 o’clock the bodies began fairly to melt into the slowly boilin solution. At 10:2 o’clock only a portion of each skin and two or three bones and a few teeth re- ma‘ned and at 10:0 o'clock the skins and hair entirely yg tg The bollers were then taken off the fire and drained. All that remained in them consisted of a few teeth and-two small pieces of bones. To-day Mr. De Lestre, one of the first four jurors sworn in, was discharged b agreement of counsel.

Luetgert persists in his demand to be ermitted to adddress sthe jury during the r‘al. His obst'nacy in this respect is troubling his counsel, who fear the prison- er will create a scene which will be pretu- dicial to his case. Luetgert declares he can explain matters to the jury concerning his sausage factory better than his coun- eel or any other person. Luetgert has receivedea letter from_ D. J.

He has been playing in an orchestra at a summer resort. She talked to a Post-Dispatch reporter about the affair Friday morning. “The police had no right to say that I was the cause of the shooting,” she said. “I know Mr. Gibson. He is an old friend of my husband. We met him at our church. But I scarcely know Mr. Cella. He is a friend of Mrs. Carter, who lives in the next flat, and it was through her I met him. “Wednesday night Mrs. Carter and I were in front of the house and Mr. Gibson happened to pass by.

(By Special Courier from Juneau, Alaska, and by Telegraph from Victoria, B. C.) Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1897. JUNEAU, Alaska, via Victoria, B. C., Aug. 20.—The latest gold discoveries are on Vic- toria Creek—named after the Queen—and Bear Creek. They were made about the 10th of last July. “he new strikes are ex- ected to pan out as rich as Eldorado and jonanza Creeks when bedrock is reached. Gold has become so plentiful in Dawson City that it is thrown around !n sacks or cans, like potatoes or coal. There is very little danger of theft. If caught a man would be strung up at once. Everybody understands this, and bolts and bars ape few in Dawson. John J. McKay, just arrived here, contra- dicts reports of a present or a scar- city of provisions in Dawson City. He says the trading companies have immense quan- tities of stores and are bringing in more. Hie says that before next winter is gone purchasers must pay whatever price the company asks. When he left he says flour was $12 per 100 pounds and bacon 40 cents a pound, Sugar and other “luxuries’’ in pro- portion. Very little fruit was in sight, and comprised oranges only, which sold, ac- cording to the supply, for from 2% cents to 2 each. Eges often sold for as much as 1] each, Mr. McKay told a story of a Swede who made a meal on eges. He had been out prospecting all day and was hungry. lie ate twenty-two, and the meal cost him $22. Ducks brought in by Indians sell for $2 each, and other game in proportion. The Canadian Goverument, Mr. McKay says, is “hogging’’ things around Dawson City. It charges $2 per thousand feet on lumber cut from stumpage on Government land, and that’s where all the timber is found, The only saw miil at Dawson Cty, run by ex-Judge Moffitt of North Yakima, Wash., is forced to add the Goverment royalty to its price for lumber. The saw mill's paoecty is 6,000 feet per day, and the mill runs day and night. The mill gets $150 per 1,000 feet, and is as good property as a placer claim. Mr. McKay says there is great and grow- ing dissatisfaction in Dawson City and vi- cinity over the new Canadian mining laws. He savs that the slightest arbitrary act on the part of the government would precipi- tate rebellion and that the officials must use wise discretion and tact to avoid trouble. The McKay party met the first considera- _dble number of gold hunters going in on the river 420 miles from Juneau. All were en- thusiastic. Many took up a few pans wher- ever the notion struck fhem on the banks and beds of the river and everywhere got $4 or $5 to the pan. They seemed to think from this that they were slowly floating into richer territory. The social side of Dawson never sleeps. It @hiows how current and common gold is. Baloon doors never close.

At the one varsety show it takes $2 to see the show, to say nothing of how much gold dust it costs to get out. MecKay says Dawson City well deserves the name of a ‘hot town,” though !t ts lo- cated in a cold olimate. Meals cost from $1 to $1.50 and board by the week is now not to de had. Mr. McKay estimated the population of Dawson City at the time that he left at 4.000. He expects to see at least 6,000 there when he gets back at the end of two weeks. Last year {t was an uninhabited wilderness. Dealers get $15 The cheerful news ts brought by the Mc- Kay party that as a matrimonial market Dawson City has no equal on earth. Ladies are as scarce as gold dust is burdensome in the metropolis of the new Eldorado. Both “Kid” Birch, one of the party, and McKay avow that any maiden, innocent or full of guilt, can become a’ bride. with a wedding Present of thousands of dollars of gold dust within thirty minutes after arriving in Daw- gon City if she will but whisper her consent, Ten thousand dollars in gold has been laid at the feet of the Jady in a number of in- Stances at Dawson City before the ceremony was sald, Miss Gussie Lamore, formerly of Juneau, has made the most desirable marriage from & pecuniary point of view. It is a fact that “Swiftwater Bill’’ was so emitten with her charms that he called on Miss Lamore the same day of her arrival and wooed her with $60,000 of gold dust In a coal ofl can. The next da she became Mrs. ‘Swiftwater Bill,” “Swiftwater Bill,"" whose real name is not known to any of the McKay party, went to the Klondike early !n the'rush.

She wears short skirts, carries an umbrella and wants to vote. The news that $5,500,000 In gold recently left Dawson City on a steamer is confirmed by Willlam Kerr of Dawson City, in a let- ter just received by C. H,. Adsit, a business man of this place.

During the trial of Attorney J. Percival Adams for contempt Judge Peabocy was Storts talking to Adams and the latter's counsel, Judge Thomas Morris. “Mr. Storts,”’ he said, “‘stop your talking.” “T won't!’ thundered-4Storts, springing to his feet. “I have a mouth and I propose to use {t. And I don’t propose to be insulted by you any more.

The trial of Adams on the contempt pro- ceedings then went on. Judge Peabody dis- charged Adams, after delivering a long lec- ture on the ethics of police court practice. FOURTH-CLASS POSTMASTERS.

The war between the O’Malleys and the Costellos of 2116 Austin street, which has kept Judge Peabody on the verge of nervous prostration, had an airing before Judge Stevenson Friday. J. 5. Rollins appeared for the olty and John Hodgen appeared for Mrs. Costello. When the clerk called for the witnesses to come forward, half the audience arose and surrounded the Judge's stand. Each witness appeared to have something important to say, and Judge Stevenson insisted that the bunch be thinned out. The less material wit- nesses were dismissed and after f an hour’s delay the case started. Mrs, O'Malley told how she had been dered to fumigate her house by the hea authorities, and when she moved her fur- niture in the back yard how Mrs. Costello appeared on an upper porch and threw selops on the bed. Three witnesses corroborated this story. Mrs. Costello was put on the stand. She pitched her voice high. “Judge, as I stand before my living God, I don't believe a word she says.

They told the bartender at this place that they owned a saloon at Fourteenth and Olive streets and that they had some work for Rowland, Fri- day when Rowland called at the saloon they arrested him Rowland was formerly employed by a family in Chicago, but was discharged. He afterward robbed the house and left town. When arrested he denied his identity, but afterward admitted he was the man wanted. Mackinac and Return, $7.

MARY ANGELL OONFESSES THAT SHE IS NOT JAY GOULD’S WIDOW. NO GROUND FOR HER SUIT. So One of the Most Remarkable Cases of Modern Litigation Falls to the Ground. Special to the Post-Dispatch. | NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—With a flat dental that she was ever the wife of Jay Gould, Mrs. Sarah Ann Angell has let fall her claim to a dower right in the dead mil- Honaire's estate. Hers is hardly a confes- sion, for she appeases her conscience by the declaration that she never did say Jay Gould had married her, but with her ad. mission the allegations which put a cloud on the legitimacy of the children of Jay Gould collapsed. No attempt will be made to arrest her. She is a woman of about 70, feeble and Mv- ing in hopeless poverty. Hon. Walter E. Ward of Albany is attorney for Mrs. An- sell. He was much surprised, he eald, to learn from publications in the preas that she had denied she was ever married to Jay Gould and withdrawn her claims upon the Goulds. Mr. Ward is awaiting confirma. tion of the published reports from the woman herself. . Mrs. Angell, tin her farm-house home at Rouse’s Point, made the positive statement, “I never was married to Jay Gould,” And then, in justification of her singular suit, with all that it entailed, she told that years ago she learned that one of her women relatives had been wronged, under promise of marr , by @ member of the Gould family, and as she bore some of the expense of extricating the girl from her trouble she felt she had a right to a part of the Gould money. But Mrs. Angell says she is honest, and persists that she never told the untruth con- ained in the affidavits fled when the suit for her dower right ag the legal widow of Jay Gould was brought. Mrs. Angell is illiterate, the present wife of John Angell, and iives on a smal! and of farm near Lake € lain in a coun- ry through which Jay Gould traveled as @ surveyor for a railroad when he was a mere . Mrs. Angell was then Sarah Anne Brown, and the story on which her claim as Gould's widow was based was that the young surveyor met and married her in those bygone days. The Angell claim when first made public created a sensation, for in it the pretended widow was made the heroine in a pretty romance in which great care was given to circumstantial det@il, dates and incidents, roundi Out a tale that was the more con- vincing ause of the gaps which appeared at intervals, seemingly natural to the last i after the lapse of so many years. riefily told, Mrs. Angell’s story was that she, a pretty farmer's daughter, first saw Jay uld, then known as Jason Gould, when he was tramping through the country with his surveyor's tools. The millionaire- to-be asked the country lass for a drink of water, got it, and an acquaintance was formed. The story ran that there was a courtship and eventually a marriage, Sarah Anne not asking her father’s consent, and so making m angry. According to the narrative, Sarah Anne was then 1b years old and Jason Gould not 17. The marri it was said, was performed by the Rev. Nathaniel Leighton, br bes still lives; but then comes one of the ar- stic gaps. Mr. ghton, now a citizen of Tunkhan- nock, Pa., was ready to act as a witness in gees faith, but unfortunately his records had been lost and his memory had falled him so far that he could not recall this par- ticular marriage. Mra. Angell’s claim, in the hands of keen lawyers and good man- agers, at this point had advanced to a stage that many persons credited it. en came one of the strangest features of the case. Old people who knew the Sa.- rah Anne Brown of 1 when the then Ja- son Gould was alleged to have married her, began to remember things that are startling now that Mrs. Angell has flatly denied the marriage. The case was then in court however, and the attorneys for the Gould family were kept busy examining witnesses who d things that appeared to confirm beyond the shadow of a doubt the justice of the pretended widow's claim to the mil- lionaire’s property. The lawyers traveled much and ques- tioned witnesses who testified before com- missioners at Rouse'sa Point, Pa., the far West and Canada, and the more they heard the more convincing became the story of Surveyor Jason Gould's qouthtus Lah ome - and marriage. A daughter was found in the person of the presen!’ Mrs, J. F. Pierce of Rock Spring, Wyo., who ts truly enough the daughter of the present rs. A ell. Two old men who knew Jay Gould when he was a penn'less but thrifty young surveyor, were produced, one from a poor-house in Michigan, and these told how J Gould had courted Sarah Anne Brown back in 1852, and had marr'‘ed her, they had heard. These men said that Jason Gould had lived with tha woman a year and a half, and to the best of their belief was her hus- ‘band. An aged woman was brought for- ward who remembers Jason Gould as a young man, and she made affidavit only a few weeks ago that he had told her in 1856 that he was married. A servant in the house of the clergyman who was said to have performed the mar- riage eervice of Jason Gould and Sarah Anne Browne was found, and she under oath told that she was called 'n as a wit- ness and saw the ceremony. Other persons testified to details corroborating the story of the claimant. In August, 1895, when her claim was com- paratively new. Mrs. Angell suddenly be- came dissatisfied with her prospects and as- signed her claim to dower right tn the Gould estate to Amasa Parker, Jr.. Will'am Me- Murtrie Spier and Margaret E. Cody. The price named was $1 and ‘other valuable con- siderations.” Mr. Cody was active in pursuading Mrs. Angell to bring this suit In the frat piace, and — from the first move was Mrs. Angelle mirer. Within a few days after the release of her claim had been signed, but before the legal form had been gone through with In recording it. Mra. Ange!! again changed her mind and brought suit to have the transfer set aside, alleging misrepresentation. There was a squabble in the claimant's camp, but a compromise was eventually patched up and affairs went on about as usual, the ac- tivity of late being chiefly among the coun- sel for the Gould heirs. Whether her mother’s testimony shook Mrs. Aniell or si® simply grew tired of the fraud. she has now put a finish to the action for all time. Her simple statement that she never married Gould, the Jason of 1852, and the Jay Gould of late years ahat- ters the ground on which the claim was MISSING JOSEPH WILHARZ. oo .- > — East St. Louis Police Asked to Locate Iiim. | Chief of Police Maues of East St. Loule has been asked to assist in locating Joseph Wilharz. aged M years. who has been Mise- ing from his home, 1244 North Broadway, since last Tuesday. aot eeedl Gothen saye Joseph crossed the river Tuesday to visit Columbia.

If President McKinley has written a letter to a member of the Cuban Junta intimating that the Administration will settle the Cuban question within two months or six months, his conduct is scarcely less reprehensible than that of his erratic Secretary of State. It is hardly possible that the President has handicapped his new Minister to Spain with a blunder of that kind. But the President can and ought to settle the Cuban question within that time. He need do no more than. let Spain know courteously but firmly that the United States will not permit the ruin of Cuba and the massacre of her peaceful popula- tion as a means of subjugating and paci- fying the island. Canovas’ brutal policy will be continued by his successor as long as the United Gtates is complacent. When the United States takes a firm stand on the subject the campaign of brutality will collapse and Spain be ready to make terms. The war on commerce, the destruction of property and the murder of innocents has reached an intolerable point. With the gas meters of all the cities at work for the Standard Oil monopoly, Mr. Rockefeller will surely have enough money for himself and something more for the Chicago beggars. The capacity of a gas meter under ordinary manage- ment is great; what willit not accomplish under the direction of so phenomenal a sharp as the Standard Oil Trust? A HORRID MAN! The ladies have long suspected that the men of science had absolutely no regard for their feelings. The man of science has shown himself ready to put the fe- male form divine to all kinds of annoy- ing tests. He submits it to his micro- scope, his galvanoscope, his spectroscope and any other kind of “scope” which he may be experimenting with. And now he has brought it under the fluoroscope.

Slipping In. From the New York World. There is a clause in the new tariff law imposing a discriminating duty of 10 per cent on foreign goods that. come into the country over Canadian railways. It is a clause that nobody in Congress would have esustained or voted for if it had becn made the subject of debate. It is in every way detrimental and dangerous. It was not in the bill as originally drawn. Whether it was actually in the bill as passed or was inserted afterwards nobody knows. Speaker Reed suggests that it was “slipped in.’’ Now, who “slipped in” a clause of so great consequence? How did he slip it in? Who paid him for slipping it in, and how much was he paid? These are questions which Congress should diligently endeavor to,resolve. Its task is the easier because the only persons in the world benefited by the clause are the men who control the Pacific Railroad *“coinbine.”’ ‘ The important thing is to find out how such provisions are “slipped into’’ laws which Congress is passing, in order that such slipping in shall be stopped. The country does not want its legislation made by “slipping in."’ It will not excuse Congress if that body fails to adopt meas- ures making it impossible for rascals to buy of engrossing clerks and the like the laws that they cannot induce Congress itself to approve.

Invented by Two Chicagoans and Can » Be Thrown From a Cannon. | | CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 27.—A small brass Projectile. measuring four by one and one- quarter, was thrown into the lake off Van Buren street from the Government pier and at a depth of five feet it exploded. A volume of water spouted twenty-four feet into the air and dead fish bobbed up to the surface and floated about, mute testimonials to the destructiveness of the explosion. The name of this new explosive, which is the discov- ery of two Chicago men, is mirex. From re- cent experiments its inventors claim it is not a wild statement to say that mirex will revolutionize modern marine warfare. Unlike the marine torpedo, the most per- fect destroying projectile now anaes to naval engineers, mirex, in a compatatively small brass casing, can be thrown from a cannon at any distance desired under twenty miles, and dropping into the water! at the side of @ man-of-war will sink to aj stated depth and explode with annihilating re- sults. No wire has been connected with the new projectile, as is the case with the sub- marine torpedo. The projectile ddes not pierce the steel armor of a gunboat) but it simply settles in the water to a dépth of five, ten, fifteen, twenty or any number of feet ghe opérator may wish and then ex- plodes. Its discoverers, are Herman G. Pfeiffer, a clothing salesman connected with a hos- sory company. They are not expert chemists /and mirex in Its perfect state is the result | of some luck and a good deal of hard work 'and enterprise. John H.

While experimenting with iit Dar- ley and myself smoke our pipes andihandle it as we would so much sand. It isn odd and wonderful mixture. and its name sig- nifies nothing. It explodes at any depth we desire, the explosion ilepending o0n the quantity and quality of the composition we place in the projectile. “We are now having a gun model con- structed in Chicago and within 6‘x| weeks this cannon will be finished and presented ra to the United States Navy Department. It will throw a projectile eight inches lang and three and one-half inches in diameter. This will blow into atoms any ship that will float in the lake. Each one of these shells will cost about $20, vastly cheaper than tor- pedoes now in use, and far more atcurate and destructive.” NEW SCIENTIFIC WONDERS — AN EXPLOSIVE DESIGNED To. a NEW USE OF THE X-RAY FOUND BY A BALTIMORE DOCTOR. SHOWS THE INTERNAL ORGANS, He Uses the Light Successfully in’ the Development of Pho- tographs. BALTIMORE, M4., Aug. 27.—If the claim made by Dr. Robert X. Giering holds good, the X-ray has only begun to unfold its wonders. The doctor claims that by means of this newly discovered light it is possible to so develop an ordinary photograph of a person that all the internal organs may be plainly scene. Dr. Glering’s discovery, he says, was made by accident and this Is the way he tells it: “About two weeks ago I was testing a new apparatus in my office and made an X-ray photograph of my hand. I placed a plate on the table directly under my appa- ratus, It was necessary in order to produce a clear picture to place some article be- tween my hand and the plate, For this pur- pose I generally used a piece of cardboard, but on this occasion I was unable to find it and instead picked up a photograph from a pile of pictures that lay on the table. While developing the photograph later on I was interrupted and went away from my office for several hours. “‘When I returned I proceeded with the development of the picture of my hand, and to my astonishment I found that across it was the picture of a man’s body. It never occurred to me that I had reproduced the picture on the photograph which I had used in place of the cardboard, and as my cur!- osity was thoroughly aroused, I proceeded anxiously with the development of the pic- ture. To my further astonishment I found that the picture of the form on my‘han1 was being revealed perfectly naked. In the course of half an hour I had developed the strange picture sufficiently to see every- rib in the body. “I made another negative from this and the second negative showed all the outward tissues of the body. Continuing I made a third negative, and this showed plainly the heart, lunge, liver and kidneys. ip “When had succeeded thus far I con- cluded that I had made a great discovery by mere accident. a discovery which estab- lishes a great fact hitherto unknown to sci- entific men; namely, that a photograph is a@ through and through likeness of the body of the individual, and all that is needed to display every Pe and organ of the body to the naked eye !s to put the picture through a series of developments under a powerful light."’ The policy which appears to be gaining favor both among labor unions and employ- ers of dragging others not directly interested into labor quarrels is pernicious and dan- gerous. The railroads began it in this country. A large number of firms and corporations in England are carrying it to its extreme [n the engineers’ strike, and the coal miners now wish to put it in full force in order to ANOTHER INJUNCTION ISSUED Woodmen at War Again Over the Re- moval of Records. ROCK ISLAND, IL, Aug. 27.+The war win their failing cause. One fact points strongly to the folly of) this course. The ranks of the miners are overcrowded Too many men have become miners for the work to be done. There are other lines of industry, especially farm- ing, that could be profitably followed by this surplus of workers. Are all other branches of workingmen to be precipitated into a reckless and dangerous sympathy strike because the miners refuse to adjust en to the needs of the labor mar- | cet ? The United States has yet millions of acres of unsettled, arable land, and the neighbor. ing countries of Canada, Mexico, Central and South America have untold miliions of free land for the industrious worker. Under these circumstances, what excuse is there for extending a. quarrel by a single branch of labor that is overcrowded into all branches, involving the whole country in disturbance and peril?

They have a warehouse containing 200 bush- els of potatoes, 80 bushels of wheat, 70 of rye, 100 of corn, DW of oats, 15 tons of hay, 10 of straw—all subject to labor checks, Each man gets pay for his work on the farm in the shape of labor checks, These checks are cashed in products on hand in the warehouse. They also have in stock W chickens, 200 ducks, 12 mulch cows, milk and cream, canned frults and berries. They want fifty more families at once. No money is paid for labor. Pay checks are paid in produce. Those receiving the produce can do what they please with !t, exchange it for clothing or anything they need. One dollar membership dues is re- quired for each one joining the colony. HRe- crults must also obligate themscives to pay $100 elther im cash or labor checka before 10 to the colony for the payment of the farm. All members are governed by a const!tu- ton and by-laws.

Louls and Lambd'n avenues. " ‘The scerie was weird and uncanny. The meetings are held in a tent, the outer @dges of which come so close to the ground that it is necessary for one to stoop to pass Under. Inside the tent is a miscellaneous Collection of benches and chairs gathered from about the neighborhood. Every chair and every !nch of standing room were taken Thursday. The tent is Partially illum'nated by three flaring gas- Oline lights hung to the center pole. At the east side of the tent is a raised platform on which !{s a melodeon and more chairs. It is there that the elect are placed and it is from there that the exhorters Pray and preach and work the audience up to such a state of excitement, that many become so entranced that they do not re- cover for an hour or two after the meeting is ended The assemblage is made up about equally of white and colored people. Some are there merely as spectators, but most of them as perticipants in the excitement. Mr. Worley, the head and front of the meeting, did nothing but join in the singing and the prayers. He made no addresses to the crowd. and told none of his ex- periences. This work he left to the younger men and the young women, who seemed eager to stand up and preach about how the faith came upon them and carried them beyond and above the cares of the world. The exhorters were not eloquent nor bril- liant Thursday night, which possibly ac- counts for the small number that st ffened out and had to be stretched on the ground like dead people. The night before an eloquent evangelist nmamed Ryan spoke for half an hour. He had great magnetic force, and when he finished there were twenty persons with their hands above their heads and their ~- ede we staring etpent and crying, “‘Glory! lory'"’ unui they sank back exhausted into the arms, of their friends and were laid reverent in rows before the platform as tokens of the efficacy of prayer. Ol4 Mr. Worley sat Thursday evening at ne end of the platform, slowing waving a yed paim-ileaf fan. ce ed calm and umed a reproachful look as he turned women began to roll their eyes until there was a separate little thanksg'v- ing meeting within the big meeting for @ few minutes. The vailing at all such meetings—firet a prayer then an exhortation; then a song. The preaching is all of the experience kind. The speaker, with his voice elevated to an un- natura) and atrained ptch, tells how he came into the fold and was saved. The speaking is unmarked by modulation or em- paes but goes along on a monotonous pens level unti] the speaker is out of reath. The crowds that assemble at Mr. Wor- ley’s meetings are for the most part or- derly and only tmpressed with the solem- nity of the occasion, but there are skeptics as in 2 assemblage. It required at times the Intervention of the sympathet.c police to keep the irreverent cont:ngent qulet. ™ old fellow with a big beard and 4 No. hat, insisted on making remarks in & loud tone so that all might know what he thought. “The rd is speaking through me,’’ said &® young reacher. . aoe tal mighty bad, he does,"’ said the . ept'c. Other remarks of the same kind almost started trouble. The progress of the meetings {fs not al! pleasant and easy.

William Worley ts a traveling evangelist, is said to be a millionaire. He owns 230,000 acres of the richest min- eral land in the Ozarks. He bought it at 25 cents an acre shortly after the war. He is now offering some of the poorest eec- tions of it at $10 an acre. The richer sec- tions he will not part with at any price. Old Preacher Worley, as he is called, is well known in St. Louls. For years he mas old- been making frequent trips here and ing “full gospel meetings” in tents or halls. e wears his gray hair cropped so that it curls tightly abont his head, and his face is smooth shaven. He resembles George Washington. He is 76 years old. ~’ He ts not a preacher. He goes from place to place teiling his ‘‘experience.’’ He believes in divine healing. By full gospel he means a gospel for the body as well as the soul. wenty years ago he claims he was cured of consumption through prayer. He prom- ised if restored to health to go through the land al] his days telling his experience. feW years ago he temporarily ‘“‘back- slid.’’ The result was that a team ran over him and his shoulder was badly injured. He again prayed to be healed and renewed his yromises of service. Since that he has been olding meetings continuously in one place or another. : Hie came here the last time in June. Mr. and Mrs. ony Peffiey, who conduct a Christian home for young men at 1701 Lucas avenue, were holding ‘full gospel’’ meet- ings in a tent at St. Louis and Grand ave- nues, assisted by Rev. Ryan. Mr. Worley joined issues with them.

She said that in spite of his 76 years he was still healthy. “Is he a vegetarian?’ she was asked.

STATE SUNDAY-SCHOOL CONVEN. TION HEARS AN ADDRESS ON “THE BOOK OF ACTS,” RUTLEDGE MADE PRESIDENT. Election of Officers, Preceded by a Re- port From the Secretary, Showing the Extent of Religious Work. After informal talks and discussions on Bible study the State Sunday-school con- vention got down to business Friday morn- ing. The last session will be held at night. Robert Rutledge, the State Secretary, made his report. It showed that in nearly | all the counties there are well organized Sunday-schools. Some of the towns re- ported that the greatest evil they had to contend with was Sunday base ball. Until this is stopped the secretary said they would be unable to make any great progress. Pending the report of the Committee on Nominations, W. J. Semelroth of St. Louls gave an example of a Bible lesson. Mr. Semelroth said the normal work does not always get a fair show. He referred to the speech Thursday night of Prof. Hamil, whom he called the “Prince of Normal course lecturers.’’ He gave no lesson, but enough from a lesson, ““The Book of Acts,” to show how a Normal! Sunday Schoo! Bible lecture is delivered. He held there was a particular significance attached to the study of that book. He asked his hearers to con- sider they were simply pupils of the Bible class and he promised to lead them through the book. e did it and had a short lec- ture for each of the chapters and divisions of the book, from the introduction, by Luke, who also wrote the gospe)! bearing his name. The time covered was thirty years, from 34 A. D. to 63 A. D. Naturally it was writ- ten in 63, and in Greece. The speaker then proceeded to the analy- sis of the book, and took up the various divisions, and oy separately on each. He used a number of maps and drawings to illustrate the lecture, and the lesson was closely followed by the ministers and Bible teachers who heard him. The Committee on Resolutions reported thanks to the officers of the Missouri Sun- day-school Convention, to the Pilgrim Church, its pastor and to all those who helped to entertain the Sunday-school teachers who are delegates to this conven- tion. The resolutions were adopted unanimous- ly. It was proposed to raise $1,500 to place in the field a competent man to organize Sunday schools. Dr. }. M. Stewart moved to amend and make the appropriation at least $6,000 to put four or more workers in the flelds. his amendment was unanimously adopted. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the Commit- tee on Nominations reported the following, who were elected: Robert Rutledge, St. Louis, President; W.

NEEDED, —— 50 SAYS CITY ENGINEER GAYLOR, BUT THE FRISCO PEOPIE SAY REPAIRS WILL DO. THE VIEWS OF BOTH SIDES. General Manager Yocum Ssys the Chouteau Avenue Bridge Will Be Made Absolutely Safe. ————aoowr | Several weeks have elapsed since Street Commissioner Milner and City Engineer Gaylor gave formal notice to the St. Louls & San Francisco Railroad Co. that the Chouteau avenue bridge had been con- demned by the city and an entirely new bridge should be constructed. The company has not forwarded its reply and the authorities are contemplating an- other demand for action. General Manager Yocum, when asked Fri- Gay what his road proposed doing in the matter, said: “We received the complaint and notice from the city authorities respecting the Chouteau avenue bridge and forwarded them to our engineer at Springfield, with directions to make a speedy examination and report what he thinks is necessary to be done. He has not made a@ report. “The Frisco Railroad has no choice but to promptly meet every requirement of law and every well-founded suggestion for the safety of passengers across the Chou- teau avenue bridge. “We are certainly as anxious as the Street Department can possibly be to prevent any accident or damage. Until our engineer re- ports we are not confronted with the uestion of bullding an entirely new bridge. ut the city can rest assured the Frisco road will do everything necessary to make the bridge absolutely safe, not only for its af - passengers, but for the general pub- e.”° The examinations into the condition of the bridge by City Engineer Gaylor re- sulted in a report from him to the effect that he considered the structure absolutely un- eafe. He intimated the bridge was rotten throughout; said it had been constructed of old iron that should never have been permitted to enter into the work, and that from end to end it was dangerous. His specifications show a general weak- ness, cracks in the iron, shakjng of stan- one, crumbling of wood and general de- ay. Mr. Yocum would not say precisely what course would be pursued by the road, but his correspondence with the Street Depart- ment indicates a desire to make extensive repairs instead of building a new bridge. Mr. Gaylor insists that the bridge will not stand repairing and cannot be made safe. The structure muet be entirely new, be- ginning with the tearing out and discarding of all the old iron used in the original] work. FOR HIS SOUL'S SALVATION. James Reilly Left the Bulk of His Wealth to the Church. re ee The will of the late James Reilly was filed for probate Friday. He gives to Archbishop Kain $4,000, to be used by him for masses for the repose of his soul, and to be said in the city of St. Louis, as the Archbishop may see fit. He also gives to the Archbishop $3,000 for masses for the repose of the souls of his father and mother. Will.am and Mary Reilly. and $1,000 to the Monks’ Church for-masses for his wife's soul.

James McCabe, for the Sacred Heart Catholc Church, $50: to his nieces, children of Robert Reilly, and his nephew, William Rellly, $1 each; to the Little S.sters of the Poor, $ Ail the rest goes to the Archbishop for masses, Catherine Bowdern and Henry are nominated as executors. CARL LINDMACK’S BAD LUCK. Had a Fit and Cut His Head While Going to Work. Carl Lindmack, a machinist, while on his Way to work Friday morning had an epileptic fit at Twelfth and Olive streets and had to be taken to the City Dispensary In falling to the sidewalk he sustained a scalp wound severa! inches lone, which was sewed up by Dr. Newcomb.

Louis, visited this side Thursday night, intent on having a good time. He fell into the hands of the Philistines. When Jones visited the Four Courts Fri- day morning his wife wouldn't have known him. When he left home he was clad in Friday morning they were covered .with mud and dust, a dirty, disreputable can- vas hat was on his head and a pair of worn-out brogans on his feet. Jones lives at 1210 Goethe street, in East St. Louis. Near Vandeventér avenue a negro attempted to steal his $75 gold watch, but, after cutting the chain, became frightened and ran away. A few biocks further west the negro, re-enforced by a white man, again tackled Jones. The negro struck him behind the ear, felling him to the ground. Then the two beat and k'cked him till he was un- conscious, and then robbed him of his watch, $15 in money and a bank book con- taining a cred t of $113 from an East St. Louis bank, and two signed blank checks. They also stole hig hat and shoes, replac- ing them with the worn-out articles he wore to the Four Courts Friday. When Jonés recbvered consciousness he was dazed and unable to remember what had happened to him. After wanderine about the streets all night Jones regained his senses and went to the Four Courts to report the robbery. He was not concerned so much about the watch, he said, but he wanted the police to telephone to the bank at East St. Louis to stop payment on the checks, which he feared would be filled out and presented. He was unable to give any description of the robbers save that one was white and one black Two Broken Ribs Over 25 Cents. Ren Morris, colored, a porter in a saloon at Twenty-third and Market streets, and Basi] Carroll, white, fought in the saloon Thursday night over a debt of 2 cents.

GEORGE JONES’ BAD NIGHT. the clothes he saves for holiday purposes. | : HARRIGAN LOST HIS TEMPER The Man With a Boot Full cf Money Then Swore to a Warrant. Chief of Police Harrigan lost his temper for a moment Friday morning when Frank B. Graves, who had been robbed of $1,438 Thursday night, refused to swear out a Warrant against the men accused of rob- bing him. Greves is the farmer from Sulsa, I. T.., who arrived in the city three days ago with $1,500 in cash, which he carried in his boot-leg for safekeeping. He registered at the Laclede Hotel, and the clerk, after considerable persuasion. induced him to deposit the money in the Boatmen’s Bank and receive a certificate of deposit. Thursday afternoon Graves, with a cer- tificate for $1,420 and $50 in cash, startea out to see the city. He drifted into Billy Hennessey’s saloon. at Nineteenth and Chestnut streets. e called at the Four Courts in the evening and said he had been robbed of his money and the certificate of deposit while asleep in the saloon. At Chief Desmond's suggestion he stopped payment on the certificate, and of- ficers were stationed at the bank to arrest any one presenting the certificate. A short time later Lee Berning, one of the bartend- ers at the Well saloon at Twenty-first and Market streets, called at the bank to ob- tain the money on deposit. He was taken to the Four Courts. Berning said he had received the certificate from Hennessey, who had asked him to get the cash. Hennessey was also arrested. e claimed he had won the money and certifi- cate from Graves in a game of dice in his saloon. Graves denied this. Friday morning friends of the prisoners made an effort to prevent the issuance of & warrant against them. Influence was also brought to bear on Graves in the meantime, for when he called at the Four Courts in the morning he was unwilling to swear out a warrant. He told Chiéfs Harrigan and Desmond he had never seen Hennessey nor Berning before, nor had he ever been in Henneersey’s saloon. Graves’ action in atteenpting to shield the prisoners angered Chief Harrigan and he cut off a piece of his mind and gave it to Graves on a cold plate After this Graves réconsidered his determinat’on. and went to the warrant office, where he swore to information charging Hennessey and Bern- ine with grand larceny. In Honor of the Rev. A. A. Eerle. A number of the St. Louis admirers of the Rev. Dr. A. A. Berle of Boston, who has been occupying the pulpit of the Lindell Avenue M. E.

FOUGHT IN THE DARK. SOMEBODY STABBED JOHN BREEN AND HE HAS LITTLE CHANCE TO RECOVER. THREE MEN UNDER ARREST. One Says He Wasn’t in It and the Others Say They Used No Enife, Joe Nester, Joe Obermeyer and George Winters are locked up in the Third District Police Station awaiting a report from the City Hospital regarding the condition of John Breen, who was stabbed in the abdo- men by one of them late Thursday night. Dr. Sutter says Breen may die. As soon as a fair idea can be had of his condition warrants will be sworn out against his assailants. Breen and the other men gay the cutting was the result of a drunken row at Breen’s home, 1852 South Ninth street. Breen lives in the rear of the building which is en- tered by a narrow arched passageway. The three men under arrest and another man, all under the influence of liquor, went into the yard and called loudly for Joe Breen. Joe was in bed and his brother John went out to see what the men wanted. | en cursed him and continued to cal] for oe. John ordered them out of the yard and went down the steps to enforce his order. His brother joined him. Some one in the darkness struck some one elee. No one seems to know just how the fight started. They all mixed in the darkness. Somebody stuck a knife into John Breen once in the abdomen and once in the thigh. At the hospital he identified Nester and Obermeyer as the men he had fought with, but could not identify either as the man who cut him. Joe Nester said he was fighting with Joe Breen when the cutting took place and Obermeyer says the same thing. Winters says he was in the alley outside the yard. HAD STONES IN. A> BASKET. Negro’s Curious Assault on a Man in a Buggy. William E. Droust, a horseman, living at 1912 North Cardinal avenue, was driving on High street about 8 o'clock Thursday even- ing, accompanied by William Barry, a horse- snoer. At the Linden street crossing a negro with a basket full of stones sprang out and stopped the horse. Then he threw stones at Droust.. Several of the missiles took ef- fect on Droust’s head and body. A crowd congregated and the negro fled. Droust drove to the Dispensary, where the doctors dressed a painful scalp wound. The assault was reported to the Fourth District Police Station. Officers were sent out to search for the negro and Droust was held at the station. The negro was not found, but Droust’s version of the was verified and he was released. DEBS DIRE PREDICTION. Thinks the St. Louis Meeting May Be Followed by a Gigantic Strike. affair 57 Aug. 27.+—In dis- of the labor TERRE HAUTE, Ind., cussing the probable result leaders’ conference at St. Louis. next Mon- day, Eugene Debs said: ‘‘What will be the result of the St. Louis meeting I am not prepared to say. I may venture the predic. tion that the injunction and its free and indiscr:'minate use in relation to organizea labor will be the engaging theme. The in- junction is the deadly bludgeon of corpo- rate capital, and labor throughout the country is aroused to this fact. The heart of all labor is with the miners. From end to end of the country workinegmen demand relief for their suffering fellows, and it will require little effort to precipitate a sympathetic strike that will simply para- lyze the country.’”’ ' A good collector is a valuable man.

Most assuredly, and they con- tinue to grow stronger and broader and more satisfactory day by day. 80 exhaust- ed financially and so curtailed in purchas- ing power had the farming community of the great West and Southwest become dur- ing the past four years of enforced liqui- dation that the lesson of economy which has been forced upon jt by the sharp ne- eessities of the situation is not apt to be readily forgotten, and therefore it is that St. Louis jobbers and manufacturers of boots and shoes, hats and caps, dry goods and clothing, find a volume of business far in advance of anything that they have ex- perienced since 1892, and in some instances even previous to that, and are taxed to their utmost capacity to keep abreast of the'r orders, Nor are the luxuries entirely neglected, for dealers in carriages, light buggies. light Superintendent R. S. Chambers, of Bradstreet’ s Agency, Ar alyzes the Symptoms of Returning Prosperity. You ask if business conditions are im- and heavy harness, and even in such dis- tinct luxuries as jewelry is far in excess of their expectations and growing stronger and more satisfactory day by day. Dealers in hardware, both ghelf and heavy, manu- facturers of stoves, dealers in lumber and general bullding material, are also feeling the impetus that has been given to the pur- chasing power of the farming community of the United States, with its magnificent crops, in sharp contrast te the genera! bhortage in nearly every other cereal pro- ducing country in the world. The general and healthy advance in prices based upon the legitimate action of the law of suppiy and demand has been and wil] continue to be a most potent factor in swelling the volume of business. Thus looking over the situation broadly, we can feel confident that we have entered upon a new era of national prosperity. R. 8S. CHAMBERS, Supt.

HE TOOK HER TO FOREST PARK. AFTERWARDS SHE TRIED TO COM- MIT SUICIDE, BUT THE POI- SON FAILED TO WORK. AN OLD AND EVER NEW STORY. Now the Child Talks Only of Home and Highland, and the Flower Garden She Tended There. Fliaxen-haired and blue-eyed Jennie Iten fa iying on a cot tin the City Hospital, the Mush of fever on her fair young face and her lips parched and dry. She has told her plaintive story to her father and to the newspapers. Now she is thinking of the village of Highland, where, she says, she had a flower-garden once in which the roses ran riot. She is not quite gure, but it is her recollection that the cy- press and the honeysuckle, the trumpet-vine and the morning glories are trailing their tendrils all over the latticed little porches about this time, and the big sunflowers are nodding towards the State of Kansas. Jennie is rather a pretty “madchen.” Her golden hair lay in two braids on her pillow, }riday morning, and the sunbrowned hands and arms told a story of out-door employ- ment in the past. She is Hired of the great, wicked, on-rush- pitiless city now, and wants to g0 Whether she will go or not, depends on the future decison of her father. Pos- eibly she may not live to go there.

Nearly all that night poor little Jennie lay awake quivering all over and thinking of the brave and hand- some gentleman who had deigned to care 60 much for one so lowly. And when she went to sleep she had visions of him. A week went by—a week of supreme and ecstatic happiness. She wondered whether she would ever see again the hero of her dreams, the gallant knight who had ridden full-panoplied into her affections. Another week and then she met him. It was a Friday night, this time, she remem- bers. She had gone as far away from home as Jefferson and Franklin avenues when, lo! the man appeared—handsome and as well-dressed as before. He asked her to ac- company him to Forest Park. She trusted him and went. He told her his name was Il'red Howard, and made numerous inquiries about her family. The ride was a long one, she says, and by and by they got out. The big woods were all ablaze in the distance with many-col- ored lights, and the sound of merry music onahell them. Ghe wanted.to where the lights and music were, but Fred Howard would not have it so. He coaxed her away into the darkness and the shadows. That’s all. But as little Jennie Iten tosses on her cot in the City Hospital her brain is racked by bitter memor'‘es that will remain with her while life lasts. When Howard emerged from the woods he left the I'ttle girl in the darkness and said he would return presently. But he did not. All at once the girl had grown to be a woman. She knew then that her castles in the afr had vanished; that her gallant knight was only an ordinary, everyday, cold-blooded scoundrel. She wandered out of the park and boarded a car. She went down town, got off at Franklin avenue, and sought a drug store. She was frantic with remorse and shame. Only one thing re- ma'ned for her, and that was the forget- fulness and oblivion of death. She bought a bottle of morphine at a downtown drug store on St. Charles street, carried if to a bakery, bought a glass of mik, poured the morphine solution into it, and drank It. What happened to her afterwards 1s only a series of distorted, horrible visions, She dimly recalls Mrs. Mary Will'ams, the colored woman who found her crying, and Mrs. Brinkman, who gave her shelter at 1007 Wash street. Rut the rest is a blank. She remembers nothing of being carried from Mrs. Brink- trean’s to the old home of Rev. Peter Ilgen. She does know that when she awoke for a moment to consciousness her father sat at her bedside. . Now she ts at the City Hospital, thinking again of the town, of Highland and the little girla who went with her to school and the flower garden she watched and tended one short year ago. Then she turns restiessly on her cot and whispers wearily: “Please go away and let me rest.” e 7 - ‘, A “s ee tA LS er, A sur .)

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 27.—In a letter to the Herald, published this morning, Sen- ator Wm. E. Chandler explaing the con- struction of the clause of the new tariff law imposing a 10 per cent extra duty on all foreign products coming through Can- ada into the United States. Sen- ator Chandler holds that the legis- lation was passed by writing it as new matter into a conference report, where it was adopted by both Houses of Congress without being noticed by more than those persons engaged in the scheme. The Senator points out that the Conference Committee went beyond its powers when it inserted this important amendment into a clause of the law, about only five words of which the Senate and House had dis- agreed, “he wording so much affects New Eng- land trade, Senator Chandler Says, that each of her Senators and Representatives may be fajrly called upon to state what, if anythir he knew about it, and why he did not expose and try to defeat it. Senator Chandler says: ‘For myself, I regret to gay that I did not notice what the conferees had done. Senator Cannon in open Senate asked whether they in- tended to do anything but settle differences between the two Houses; whether tacy in- tended to put any new matter inio the bill—and Senator Allison replied emphati- cally that of course, they did not. f the ae was re, and as no attention fas Calied to it in the repor } without betnge noticed. ee “Having had experience with conference reports, which should have warned me to read every word of this report, I have no excuse to offer for not doing so.

EEE —_—__-_—_—_— OC rh | - LACLEDE GAS STOCK BOOMING New York Speculators Try- ing to Get Possession of the Enterprise. Wall street is believed to have captured a majority of the stock of the Laclede Gas Co. The New York speculators have had a fierce battle among themselves for posses- gion of the St. Louis company, but the fight jhas raged beyond public gaze. One of the syndicates is headed by ex- Gov. Roswell P. Flower of New York. As- sociated with him are ex-Mayor Hugh J. Grant of New York City, his father-in-law, Edward Murphy, Jr., senior Senator from the Empire State, and Anthony M. Brady. The other syndicate has as its chief James R. Keene, who made millions in sugar on the eve of the passage of the Dingiey bill, and John ‘ Searles M pen other Sugar Trust nates are in the Keene comopine, Te fa not known positively whether the Flower forces or the Keene combination has secured the majority of Laclede stock, but the issue will settled within the next twenty-four hours. It has been one of the battles of the greater financial giants of this country, as the Standard Oil people are believed to be behind Flower. In the fight to secure the Chicago gas companies the Flower syndicate won. In that contest Philip D. Armour was one of the powerful allies of New York's former Governor. The Chicago packer is the head and front of the Cotton-seed O11 Trust, and it is significant that during the past week J. F. Merryman, who has represented the cotton-seed oil combine, has been one of two men who have been busy making searching inquiries after Laclede stock. The other man is John. H. Maxon, who used to own a big block of the gas cumpany’s stock. | bell, ee eee - - syndicate. When the stock was quoted at only $37 ast week, a proposition was made to some brokers in St. Louis te secure a majority of the stock as near the market price as possible. In New York Thursday the com- mon stock of Laclede Gas closed at $42. Almost a majority of the common stotk is owned by Emerson McMillan, nominally of Columbus, O., really of 40 Wall street. It is the opinion of 8:, Louisans who have held stock in the Laclede company that Mr. McM'llan has always regarded it as an in- vestment rather than as a epeculative stock. But since Sugar certificates are ranging so high and Chicago Gas has soared be- yond public expectations, Wall street feels the necessity of an active speculative fea- ture. It seeme as ff the speculators have selected Laclede Gas for their purpose. Another thing which has had a favorable speculative tendency is that the United States Supreme Court will in October next give its opinion on the right of the La- clede company to tear up streets for the purpose of putting down mains. Wall Street believes the decision will be favor- able to the company and that belief has been a factor in booming the stock. Then it has been yg announced that the directors of the Laclede company will de- clare a 4 per cent dividend when it comes due in January. When ex-Gov. Flower was asked in New ‘York whether he was trying to capture Laclede Gas he made a denial, but it is believed he is trying to keep under cover until the fight for the stock is ended. “I am not in a pos'tion to affirm or deny,”’ said John H. Mason, when asked if it is true that he has been active in the interest of the Flower synd'cate. John Frank Merryman, the other St. Louisan said to have been engaged in the work of acquirement.for the combine head- ed by Flower, was also reticent. m cannot discuss the matter at all,’ he said. James Campbell, one of the heaviest hold- ers of Laciede gas stock, gave a hearty chuckle as he lay back in a chair in his office in the Rialto building, when asked if either of the Wall street syndicates had clinched their hold on a majority of La- clede stock. “Now, I don’t belHeve,”” said Mr, Camp- bell,“* that Flower or Keene have started conspiracies to get a majority of Laclede stock. James Campbell, H. Hollins «& Co. and Emerson McMillan still own a ma- jority of the company’s stock.” ‘How do you explain the rapid rise in the price of common stock?’ he was asked. “Simply due to the fact,’ said Mr. Camp- “of the increased earnings of the plant Merryman and Maxon, it is believed, have! and the probability that it may be enabled crows FROM EVRORR, : yas on THE ONLY THING IN AMERICA EUROPE LIKES. been hustling in the interest of the Flower $2.50 kind e@ sell for,.. —— LY lommon stock | S88 THAT THE NAME IS STAMPED ON BACH CIGAR. }* \als giana Md HAVE THE HAVANA TO DO IT, AND at $43.60, and TH ALITY OF THE | al days ago pnt McMillan to declare a @ividend on the within a reasonable time. man, Laclede Gas is as g00 Gas.
